2020 Map of Kirby Ranch

About this map

Kirby Ranch sits at the heart of this high-plains landscape in Garfield County, reflecting the deep-rooted ranching tradition of eastern Montana. The terrain is defined by a complex drainage network, where Long Br Cr and its eastern fork carve through the landscape alongside the winding courses of Second Cr and W Fork Second Cr. To the northeast, Lynch Coulee and Lane Tree Cr break the rolling topography, illustrating the erosional patterns typical of the Missouri River breaks region. Human presence is marked by sparse local routes like Uthaug Rd, which follows section lines to connect isolated homesteads and pastures across the townships. The map documents a sparsely populated but active working landscape where water sources and topographic relief dictate the placement of ranch infrastructure.
